PNEUMONIA!

ton Of Tfis Dreaded Blood
Disorder.
ut is generally supposed that pneu-
monia is due to the accidental pene-
t1atine OF specific microbes into the
system, but the observations OF NJ.
Jaccoud show tnat the disease really
results from the development, under
favorable conditions, of .microb;c
germs permanently present in the
system. A chief condition of such
development Is a sudden chill, which
explains the frequent coincidence of
lung affections with abrupt changes
OF temperature. Scientific Ameli-
can.
Another prominent (American) au-
thority ascrlbes pneumonia to an ex.
cess of ozone. ozone being produced
by passage OF electricity in the air.
A DISTINGUISHED American physician
tells the New YORK Tribune that the
prevalence Of pneumonia indicates the
universality OF a uric.a acid condition OF
the blood.-sudden chills always being
characteristic effects of too much acid
OF n sort and another.
The disease, as M. Jaccoud observes,
is undoubtedly in the blood, but if in
the form OF permanent microbes or
germs, these germs must be developed
by the uric-acid condition OF 1.-THE blood.
Indeed, they cannot presumably exist
in alkaline blood. Uric-acid is the name
for the waste matter OF the system,
which the kidneys, through evident
though unexpected impairment,
have not been able to filter from the
blood,-the filter being foul and stop
ped up in many OF it's little halr-like
tubes.
The Tribune's authority says that
pneumonia is q secondary disorder,
the exposure and cold being simply
the agents which develop the disease,
already dormant in the system, be.
cause the kidneys have been but
partially doing their duty. In short,
pneumonia is but an early indication
OF a bright's diseased condition. This
impaired action may exist Tor years
without the patient suspecting it, be-
cause no pain will be felt in the kid
neys or their vicinity, and often it can
be detected only by chemical and mi
c~roscopical examinations. Nearly
$50 OF the 74O deaths in New York
City the first week in q recent March,
and in SIX weeks ISL deaths, were
caused by pneumonia alone.
Ii one has occasional chills and fe-
yer. a tendency to colds in the throat
and lungs, rheumatic and neuralgia
pains, extreme tired feelings, short
breath aud pleuritic, stitches in the
side, loss OF appetite, backache, nerv-
Gus understanding sensations or
scant and discolored fluids, heart hut-
terings, sour stomach, distressed look,
puffy eye sacs, hot and dry skin, loss
OF strength and virility, pneumonia is
likely to strike him down any day,
and his recovery will be doubtful.
These Indications may not ap-
pear together. they may come. disap-
pear and re-appear, for years, theper-
son notrealizing that they arenature's
warnings OF coming calamity.
The disease Is very %quick-acting and
if the accompanying kidney disorder
is very far advanced, recovery is i'm
possible, for the kidneys give out en-
tirely, and the patient is literally
sufocated by water.
The only safeguard against pneumo-
MIA is to maintain a vigorous condi-
ton OF the system and thus prevent
attacks, by using whatever will radi-
cally and effectually restore full vi.
tally to the Kidneys, and for this
there is nothing equal to Warmers safe
cure. II the kidneys are not sound
pneumonia cannot be prevented.
This remedy Is known to millions,
used. probably, by hundreds OF thou
sands all over the globe, and com.
merded as a standard specific wher-
ever known AID used. 1t does not
pretend to cure an attack OF pneumo-
MIA, bur it does remove the u OF,
and prevent that disease if taken in
time.
When q physician says his patient
has either bright's disease or pneumo-
MIA, he confesses his inability to cure,
and in n measure he considers his re-
sponsibility ended. In many in
stances, indeed. persons are re-
ported rs dying OF pneumonia. heart
disease, apoplexy and commissions,
! when the real cause OF death. and SO
known by the physicians, is this kid
ney consumption. Thousands OF peo-
ple have it without knowing it. and
perish OF it because their physicians
will not tell them the facts.
The same destiny awaits every mi
who will not exercise his judgment in
such q matter and be true to himself,
his family and to society.
